Removed ice bucket to clean & now unable to return it into freezer how is this done?

To remove the ice tray from your GE refrigerator model GFSF6KEX, follow these steps:

Empty the Ice: Before removing the ice tray, empty it of any ice cubes. This will make it easier to handle.
Locate the Ice Tray: The ice tray is typically located in the freezer compartment, usually near the ice dispenser or ice maker.
Grasp the Bottom Edge: Stand in front of the freezer and open the door. Grasp the bottom edge of the ice tray on the sides. Be cautious not to place your fingers near the opening at the bottom front part of the bucket where the crusher blades are located.
Lift Up the Front: Lift up on the front of the ice tray so that it clears the stops on the ice bucket rail.
Pull the Tray Forward: Pull the ice tray forward and out of the freezer compartment.
Reinstalling the Tray: To reinstall the ice tray, follow these steps:
Line up the flange pieces on the sides of the tray with the channels in the ice bucket rails.
As you push the ice tray all the way back, lift the front of the tray so that it clears the stops on the front of the ice bucket rails.
Verify that the tray is properly inserted by pulling it forward. It should hit the stops on the rail and not come out. If it does, push the tray further back.
Check for Misalignment: If you're unable to push the ice tray all the way back, it might be due to a misalignment between the back of the auger (located in the tray) and the prongs on the auger motor (mounted in the back freezer wall). To fix this:
Remove the ice tray.
Close the freezer door.
Press the dispenser for cubed or crushed ice; you should hear a snap.
Open the door again and reinstall the ice tray.
Remember to handle the ice tray carefully, especially if it's full of ice.

If the grey tab on your Thermador 42-inch built-in refrigerator's ice bucket broke, and you're unable to pull the ice bucket out for cleaning and drying, here are a few suggestions to try:

1. Use a flathead screwdriver: Insert a flathead screwdriver into the slot or opening where the grey tab used to be. Apply gentle pressure to push or lift the ice bucket enough to release it from its locked position. Be careful not to damage the surrounding components or scratch the interior of the refrigerator.
2. Thaw the ice: If the ice bucket is iced up and causing difficulty in removal, try thawing the ice by turning off the ice maker or adjusting the freezer temperature slightly higher. Allow the ice to melt, which should make it easier to remove the ice bucket. Be sure to place a towel or tray underneath to catch any melting ice or water.
3. Contact Thermador customer support: If the above methods do not work or you are uncomfortable attempting the repairs yourself, it is recommended to contact Thermador's customer support directly. Provide them with the model number (T42BD820N810) and explain the issue with the broken tab and the difficulty in removing the ice bucket. They will be able to provide further guidance, including potential solutions or arranging for a service technician to assist you.

It is defective.

Lift up the ice level bar to allow the bucket back in its place

remove the dispenser bucket where the ice drops into inside the freezer and get a Tupper ware bowl,remove the bucket and dump this ice into the bowl,then rinse with the dispenser bucket with warm tap water to melt any ice on each end of this ice maker,then wipe dry and replace into freezer where you removed it to get cold again and leave empty till the next harvest of ice,this can be normal on some units after so many weeks,as it will not let the blades retract so as just to dispense only cubes,once bucket is cleaned of ice jams the solenoid and blades will again retract for cubes only

how long did you leave it unplugged? it's possible all the frost didn't defrost .you need to leave it unplugged and the doors open for at least 12 hrs.

remove the ice cube tray assy, remove all the ice, save the cubes, wash the assy with warm water dry the assy, be sure the lever in the rear of this ice cube assy is moving and spring loaded, move the lever and it should snap back and return if so you know the unit is ok(the cube assy), now with the assy still out of the freezer close the freezer door and select crushed ice and push the pad where the glass normally hit to activate the ice cubes,if the operates and you here a thump and snap and hum most likely your ok,if not you could have a defective auger motor assy,but if you here all the sounds as decribed oped the freezer door and select cubed ice push actuator on despensor door with the freezer door closed, reopen and install the ice cube assy tray bucket assy,push it in firmley, and try it with some ice in the bucket you should be fine,if not replace auger motor assy..

Hello margrek

Ice has bad odor and taste.
1• Ice has picked up odor or
flavor from strong food stored
in refrigerator or freezer.
2• Water running to ice maker
has poor taste or odor.
3• Ice not used frequently enough.
4• Cover foods tightly. Discard stale ice. Ice maker will
produce fresh supply.
5• Add filter to water supply line. Consult a water purifying
company.
7• Discard stale ice.
